🦃 TURKEY LOVE ❤️

What a great pic from photographer Mike Poonfish Drinkwater who has a remarkable eye for capturing the natural beauty within our region. We also like what Mike had to say about this snap..

“While some are getting ready to go cold turkey for ‘Dry July’, real cold turkeys can be found shivering in the scrub.

“Odd-looking, dishevelled, cold, lonely, unappreciated, unwanted, unloved, and abandoned at birth. Not by me though, I think they are fabulous and have just as much right to be as any other living creature.”

▪️We definitely agree Mike- we love ALL of our local flora and fauna.

A flock
A mob maybe?
